Chapter 854: In-Depth Investigation

"What is this...?"

In the Garkalan City Lord's Mansion, at this moment, the team led by the Blue Magic Swordsman Roche has lurked deep underground in the main magic tower.

For several months, based on the information obtained from the prisoners and the clues found on the strange cylinder, they gradually traced to Garkalan City, the largest main city in the territory of Marquis Anrita, one of the nine marquises of the empire.

This place has left the province of Karlas, and the local Spark Organization has few forces.

Due to the shortage of manpower and intelligence, Roche's investigation process was extremely difficult. During the period, it was once exposed, and the real purpose was discovered by the minions of the mastermind behind the scenes, and was embarrassed by the subsequent assassination and obstruction.

In fact, Fiona was supposed to act together with the team on this trip, and rely on her own powerful magic power to provide assistance and deepen the mutual bond.

But due to Anvis's intervention, the little girl is currently carrying the identity of the ambassador of Hualuo Tianxia and openly fishing in the base.

Having lost his original core mage, Roche could only rely on himself and his teammates to complete the task.

However, as the destined person, Roche still miraculously overcame the difficulties, exploded his small universe, and with the help of his own strong strength and a little luck, he passed many levels and successfully sneaked into the core area.

So, the real secret appeared before them.

In the vast underground hall lit with red candles, several mysterious spellcasters in black robes stood on the dark altar, presiding over the operation of a huge and strange dark red magic circle.

One by one, the blindfolded human alien slaves were pulled up by the alchemy puppets and pushed into the magic circle, and then their bodies fell down silently like puppets, and their souls were absorbed by the magic circle and input into a crystal at the core of the magic circle.

The body without the soul was taken away from the magic circle by the alchemy puppets and thrown into the scarlet blood pool under the altar, melting into blood water.

On the sides of the magic circle and the blood pool, three lines with dark red light extended out, each with a strange metal cylinder as a node, two by two connected together, and it is unknown what the purpose is.

This horrible ritual was performed in front of Roche and others for the first time. The mastermind behind the scenes was very cautious. This was the first time they saw the cylinder in use in the past few months.

In addition, there have been many wars in the territory of Marquis Anrita recently. These slaves were almost all captured in the war, and they would not attract attention because of the large-scale purchase of slaves in the market in a short period of time.

This cautious style made people suspect that there was a big conspiracy. Roche wanted to lead people to retreat quietly at the first time, but he was accidentally exposed.

As a last resort, Roche used the special magic straw weaving to shuttle through space to ask for help from the Spark Headquarters, while he himself held on.

After receiving the call for help, Leo, the leader of the ninth-level Spark Resistance Army, took it very seriously and immediately traveled through space to respond, but was blocked for a moment by the power of the same ninth level. When he finally succeeded in rescuing Roche and others, the team had already lost members and Roche was seriously injured.

But in the process, Leo also got two intact cylinders that had been specially treated and were full of soul power and flesh and blood. The rest were destroyed by the aftermath of the battle.

As a professional from a civilian background, Leo and the top leaders of the Spark Organization studied it privately for a while, but in the end he was still confused and couldn't figure out what it was used for.

Moreover, after this incident, the Glory Alliance showed an unprecedented tough attitude. Three marquises came forward at the same time and began to vigorously clean up the branches of the Spark Organization. The branches of the Spark Organization in many areas were uprooted.

In response, Leo had to take the initiative to contact Avis, sharing intelligence while hoping that Avis could help share some of the pressure in accordance with the previous agreement.

Therefore, as the ambassador of Hualuo Tianxia designated by Avis, the task of delivering the message fell on Fiona.

After getting the newly acquired blood-colored cylinder from Xinghuo, the little girl knocked on Avis's door for the second time with a little trepidation.

Fiona has been living a very comfortable life recently. Due to Avis's instructions, other people are very polite to her. At the same time, with the help of Hualuo Tianxia's power, she can easily collect some resources needed to restore her own strength.

And with Avis's reputation as a cover, her current situation is much safer, and she doesn't have to maintain a disguise and worry all day long.

However, after all, she did nothing before, ate and drank for free for several months, and now she suddenly has to see Avis again, which makes Fiona feel a little guilty.

"Please come in--"

In the study, Avis welcomed her arrival as last time.

Fiona walked into the room with a clatter, and after formally saluting Avis, she placed the blood-colored metal column on the table and conveyed the message from Xinghuo.

Looking at the dark red metal cylinder on the table with some special patterns on the surface, Avis stroked the slightly warm material with his fingers and separated a line of thought to analyze it.

He seemed to have grasped something from this magic pattern structure that blended soul and flesh.

He glanced at the girl who blinked her big eyes and looked around, but her peripheral vision was always secretly staring at him. Avis signaled her to go back first and notify her later if there was any news.

In fact, he had more to deal with now than just investigating the conspiracy of the Glory Alliance. Before receiving the news from Fiona, he was investigating the situation of the royal family of the Gloria Empire.

During the entire process of the gradual decline of the four major families, the imperial family did not have much presence, and even did not react much to the subsequent cake division process.

Anvis had been puzzled about this for a long time before. Now that he had enough strength, he directly relied on his own prophecy spell attainments to sneak into the various secret places of the royal family, carefully investigated, and then found the real reason.

The truth is simple. The royal family is actually also in a state of panic, because Gloria III in this world is also missing.

But unlike the other world line when Anvis came, this disappearance was concealed by several of the strongest royal guardians, and kept secret. Every day, the emperor's substitute still went to court to participate in regular meetings and cooperate with the nobles to handle various affairs.

In two different world lines, Gloria III disappeared.

If you compare the two, you will find that although his interference in the other world line has changed the future direction to a certain extent, some special events are still moving towards the original trajectory under various coincidences, as if it is the inertia of fate.

Yanile still became a saint, and Gloria III was still missing.

It seemed that the world had changed drastically, but the stars in the night sky remained unchanged.

What was hidden behind this made Avis very interested.

Moreover, in addition to these strange coincidences, according to this inference, some things seemed to have not yet erupted.

Avis did not forget that in his original world line, the former Federal Speaker who established the [Door in the Eye] made a big move, trying to sacrifice the people of the Federation and summon the Lord of Dreams, Maelim, to come and break through the Zenith Wall.

With the Lord of Dreams being expelled and the Speaker being sealed as the former Speaker, the new Federal Speaker who took over had no time to mourn for the predecessor, and he did another big move without stopping.

And so far in this world line, the former Federal Speaker is doing well now, and the new Federal Speaker is still one of the members.

This situation used to be due to the secret suppression of the Stargazer. Now, with the addition of him, a ninth-level prophet, and the Stargazer, they are restraining each other in the web of fate, and the operating space behind has become much larger.

In fact, after his relationship with the Hualuo Tianxia Guild was spread, more than one secretive guy came with a secret letter with the Door in the Eye and the logo of the federal councilor, hoping to meet with him privately to discuss jointly dealing with the threat of the Stargazer.

In this world line, Avis has no conflict with their position for the time being, but after some consideration, he finally did not respond to the invitation from the federal side.

The priority of the Stargazer against him is very low. When he really breaks through the ninth level, the Stargazer actually has no core motivation to continue to target him. This is a critical information gap.

As a ninth-level prophet who is highly compatible with the web of fate, the Stargazer knows the coming dark doomsday better than anyone else. This feeling is like an ordinary person on the beach, watching the tsunami like a mountain in the distance rolling over.

At this moment, the Stargazer will only save himself at all costs, instead of wasting a lot of time to settle accounts with him.

But at this time, getting involved with the Gate of the Eyes and the Federal Parliament and causing trouble for the Stargazer may directly touch the other party's red line.

Those terrifying dark existences that are infinitely close to gods are a sword of Damocles hanging over their heads. Avis will not interfere with the Stargazer on this matter. On the contrary, he wants to see how this world resists.

After all, even if he returns to the original world line, the threat of those dark existences still exists.

Avis is not even sure whether he will directly attract their attention when he returns to the original world. (End of this chapter)
